SPECIFICATION forming-part of'iLetters Patent No. 283,079, dated August 14, 1883..

` Application filed October 12,*1882. (No model.)

` construction, combination, and arrangement ofthe mechanism hereinafter more fully described, and set forth in the claims.

The ligure of the drawing represents a vertical section through the axis of the windwheel.

A A representthe tower-posts, to which the cast-iron frame B is `rigidly secured in any suitable manner, andsupportsthe turn-table A C, provided with a journal-bearing supporting the horizontal shaft D, to which the windwheel proper is secured in the usualj. manner.

Friction-rollers E serve topermit'the said engages with the bevel-gear wheel H, secured y to the upper end of the vertical shaft I, and at its opposite sidewiththe bevel-gear wheel J, secured to the upperl end of the hollow shaft or tube K, which has a journal-bearing .at its' upper and lower end within the said sleeve F of the turn-table-C, as shown, by

l 4o which means the `shaft I and hollow shaft K are driven in opposite directions. To the Vlower end of said hollow shaft Kis secured i the bevel-gear wheel L, which engages with the bevel-gear wheel M, secured to one end of the Vhorizontal sleeve N, which is supvengages with the opposite side of said bevelgear wheel S, thus counterbalancing the same `by an equal pressure upon each or opposite I tical shaft I is secured the bevel-gear wheel P, which engages with the loose double bevel- `gear wheel It, adapted to rotate upon the said horizontal sleeve N, which has secured to the `opposite end thereof the bevel-gear wheel W,

which engages with one side of the bevel-gear wheel S, journaled upon the stud T, which is secured within the yoke U, keyed to the said horizontal shaftO. The opposite side of the said double or reverse bevel-gear wheel R sides thereof.

To the extreme outer end of the horizontal shaft O is secured a sprocket-wheel, V, and

over which may be passed ya suitable endless chain adapted to transmitthe power and mof tion to a similar wheel secured to a horizontal the wind changes the bevel-gear wheels R A and M.wil l be' driven in opposite directions `in regard to eachother, as it is permitted by the gear-wheel S turning upon its own axis sufficiently to allow: for the changed direction of the wind-wheel shaft D. Consequently a change in the direction of thewind will not affect the speed of the driven machinery; and, also, it will be seen that there is no force eX- erted tending to throw the wind-wheel out of the direct line of the wind, either in a wind blowing steady from one direction or when the wind suddenly changes and .shifts the position of the wind-wheel shaft.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim is 1. The combination, with the wind-wheel shaft D, having the bevel-gear G, and the "ver-` tical shafts I and K, provided at their upper i ends with the` bevel-gears H and J and attheir lower ends with the bevel-gears L and P, of the double bevel-gear R, gears S and W, yoke U, horizontal sleeve N, gear M, and horizontal shaft O, having a sprocket-wheel, V,

double bevel-gear R, and yoke U, having the bevel-gear S, substantially as described, as and for the purposes set forth. Y
